Joel Embiid Trolls Eagles and Teammate Mike Scott With Perfect Postgame Tweet

It looks like the Philadelphia 76ers have more than one traitor in their midst.
Philly superstar Joel Embiid became the latest 76er to seemingly turn his back on the Philadelphia Eagles. The notorious jokester trolled the Eagles and their fans following their 34-27 win over the Packers by threatening to unleash teammate and Washington Redskins fan Mike Scott on them.
Scott, of course, is a diehard Redskins fan, and brawled with tailgaters just a few weeks back.
Could it actually be that Embiid's loyalties lie outside of the city that he plays in? It's not out of the realm of possibility. The superstar center made his support of Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay known, perhaps jokingly, throughout the game.
The fans and the city's infrastructure didn't take too kindly to seeing one of their most beloved players displaying his allegiance to the enemy so wholeheartedly.
If he is a Packers fan, though, he definitely wasn't pleased with the outcome of the game. Rodgers and Co. had a chance to tie things up in the fourth quarter, but the two-time MVP threw a goal-line interception, sealing the win for the Eagles.
And of course, it's no secret that Embiid loves to have a good laugh, so it's just as likely that he's messing around with Philly fans right now.
For now, it seems as though his football fandom is with the cheeseheads in Wisconsin.
